92-94 THE WINEADVOCATE: "This is made by the Technical Director of Château Pavie, Laurent Lusseau. The vineyard is right next door to Monbousquet. Composed of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Lusseau leaps from the glass with seductive scents of cinnamon stick, Sichuan pepper, fenugreek and cumin seed with a core of blackberry compote, Morello cherries and forest floor plus a waft of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, rich and packed with exotic spices, the palate has a lovely velvety texture and bold freshness, finishing on a lingering mineral note."
